Chelsea Thrashes Port Vale 7-0 in FA Cup

0:00On April 5, Chelsea smashed Port Vale 7-0 in the FA Cup quarter-finals, booking their spot in the semis at Wimbly. The Blues struck first after just 64 seconds through Jorail Hato, then powed on with goals from Draupadro, Cole Palmer, Tosin Adiravioio. Andrei Santos, Estevo, and Alejandro Granacho from the spot. Port Vale, rock bottom and league one and fighting relegation, had pulled off upsets over Sunderlin and others for their first quarter-final run-in. 72 years. This win came at the perfect time for Chelsea Boss Liam Roseneer, snapping a rough patch of four stray losses, including a Champions League. Dropping by Paris Saint-Germain and a Premier League defeat at Everton. Roseneer has been dealing with squad drama too, like a two-match ban for Enzo Fernandez after he questioned his future at the club. Port Vale's 6,000 fans brought the noise in the shed end, but their side couldn't match Chelsea's firepower, starting eight free transfers, and loans against the squad full of big money talent.

1:03Manager John Brady called it a gut punch, praising his players' effort while admitting the class gap showed. 18-year-old Brazilian Estevo stole the show with his tricks and a goal, earning rave reviews from Roseneer as a key piece for the trophy push, and Champions League spots. Fernandez watched from the bench, all smiles, as the team showed real intensity. Chelsea now eyes a Premier League clash with Manchester City this Sunday, while Port Vale heads back to league one action against Rotherham, on Tuesday, carrying memories from their epic cup adventure.
